Growing Offshore Oil and Gas industry - Part 1

(www.abndigital.com)
On Focus on Ports we focus on Africa's growing offshore Oil and Gas industry. With exploration on the west coast of the continent growing exponentially with indications that Africa's East coast may follow suit, South Africa is strategically positioned to respond to the rig repairs and servicing of off shore oil rigs and drilling equipment. Focus on ports looks at infrastructure and investment needed to respond to this market demand.

How to Rob Africa -People Power- Al Jazeera English

A film by Stanley Kwenda, Clive Patterson and Anas Aremeyaw Anas
The world's wealthy countries often criticise African nations for corruption - especially that perpetrated by those among the continent's government and business leaders who abuse their positions by looting tens of billions of dollars in national assets or the profits from state-owned enterprises that could otherwise be used to relieve the plight of some of the world's poorest peoples.
Yet the West is culpable too in that it often looks the other way when that same dirty money is channelled into bank accounts in Europe and the US.
International money laundering regulations are supposed to stop the proceeds of corruption being moved around the world in this way, but it seems the developed world's financial system is far more tempted by the prospect of large cash injections than it should be.
Indeed the West even provides the getaway vehicles for this theft, in the shape of anonymous off-shore companies and investment entities, whose disguised ownership makes it too easy for the corrupt and dishonest to squirrel away stolen funds in bank accounts overseas.
This makes them nigh on impossible for investigators to trace, let alone recover.
It is something that has long bothered Zimbabwean journalist Stanley Kwenda - who cites the troubling case of the Marange diamond fields in the east of his country.
A few years ago rich deposits were discovered there which held out the promise of billions of dollars of revenue that could have filled the public purse and from there have been spent on much needed improvements to roads, schools and hospitals.
The surrounding region is one of the most impoverished in the country, desperate for the development that the profits from mining could bring. But as Kwenda found out from local community leader Malvern Mudiwa, this much anticipated bounty never appeared.
"When these diamonds came, they came as a God-given gift. So we thought now we are going to benefit from jobs, infrastructure, we thought maybe our roads were going to improve, so that generations and generations will benefit from this, not one individual. But what is happening, honestly, honestly it's a shame!"
What is happening is actually something of a mystery because though the mines are clearly in operation and producing billions of dollars worth of gems every year, little if any of it has ever been put into Zimbabwe's state coffers.
Local and international non-governmental organisations say they believe this is because the money is actually being used to maintain President Robert Mugabe's ruling Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) in power.
True or not, it is clear that the country's finance minister, Tendai Biti, has seen none of it. A representative of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change, which sits in uneasy coalition with ZANU-PF, he says he has no idea where it is going.
"We have got evidence of the quantities that are being mined, the quantities that are being exported but nothing is coming to the fiscus .... All I know is that it's not coming to the treasury. So that is a self-evident question. It is not coming to us. That means someone is getting it. The person who is getting it is not getting it legally. Therefore, he's a thief, therefore she's a thief."
Sadly, as Stanley Kwenda has realised, it is typical of a problem found all over Africa.
The continent is rich is natural resources that are being exploited for big profits, but the money is rarely used for the benefit of the people. Instead it goes to line the pockets of corrupt officials who then often smuggle it out to be deposited in secret offshore bank accounts in the developed world.
So who facilitates these transactions? And how and why does the developed world make it so easy to launder this dirty cash?
In this revealing investigation for People & Power, Kwenda and the Ghanaian undercover journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, set off to find out. Posing as a corrupt Zimbabwean official and his lawyer, their probe takes them deep into the murky world of 'corporate service providers' - experts in the formation of company structures that allow the corrupt to circumvent lax international money laundering rules.
It just so happens that the pair's enquiries take place in the Seychelles but, as they discover to their horror, they could just as easily be in any one of a number of offshore locations (or even in the major cities of Europe and the US) where anonymous companies can be set up for the express purpose of secretly moving money and keeping its origins hidden from prying eyes.

German Carlos Suarez has been a Director at Astican since 2014. In addition to this, he has been the Chief Executive Officer of Interza and Confia Canarias since 2007. Before this, he was a Member of the Board at Astican-Astander, Italmar-La Luz Market. Between 2008 and 2009 he founded the Canaries Technological Excellence Cluster. Previously, in 2006, he was a Specialist in Information and Technology Services at the IE Business School.
Mr Suarez holds a Master's Degree in European Business and Consultancy from ESCP Europe and a Business Administration and Management Degree from Comillas Pontifical University.
Astican Astilleros Canarias has a 15 year background in carrying out challenging projects for the Oil & Gas Industry in West Africa. Being part of a large shipping company with more than 36 years track record in the Maritime Industry worldwide, Astican has developed in Gran Canaria a well known IRM service industry to assist Shipowners who look for the best option to upgrade, modify, or repair on time their assets in the area.
Astican's permanent investments to keep unique facilities within Las Palmas port, such as the only deepwater quay side in long term leasehold in the West coast of Africa, and skilled technicians on the latest offshore & subsea technologies, allow the company to outperform in one of the most demanding markets in the world. Due to this success we have started to do punch lists on new buildings (rigs, drillships, FPSOs) coming from Asian shipyards to the Gulf of Guinea, Gulf of Mexico, Brazil or proceeding North bound.
Current investment plan includes setting up One Stop Shop in subsea, drilling and thrusters technologies in Las Palmas as well as creating flying squads to deploy IRM services worldwide.

Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling - 297703-1-DVD - House Natural Resources - 2011-01-26 - House Committee on Natural Resources. The co-chairmen of the president's commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico testified before the House Natural Resources Committee. The Commission's final report, released earlier in the month, called for sweeping changes in oil and gas industry operations and government regulation. The report faulted BP, Transocean, and Halliburton for the part in the worst oil spill in U.S. history, which killed 11 people, but also said these problems were systemic in the entire oil industry. Filmed by C-SPAN. Non-commercial use only. For more information, see http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/297703-1

Leaving the safer Mediterranean sea behind, the teams are sailing along the African coast discovering the perils of a not so off-shore racing. It’s also time for the crew to realise that the lack of winds may mean that they are in a longer leg than planned.

Free Diving - Oudekraal (10m - 14m)

published:25 Jun 2012

views:591

The dive site Oudekraal is on the Atlantic seaboard of the Cape Peninsula, near Cape Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
The high biodiversity, stunning colour and spectacular topography make this one of the regions most rewarding dive sites.
Shore dive: Use the Table Mountain National Park Oudekraal parking lot off the coast road if there is space. You pay for the parking (R20) but the facilities are good, including clean toilets, picnic areas, shade trees, and showers. Security is better than most places. Alternative parking is available at the side of the M6, but the walk is longer.
S34°59.247' E018°20.921' (Western cove entry point)
Off the M6 just south of the Twelve Apostles Hotel
This is in a Marine Protected Area (2004). A permit is required. The site is within the Karbonkelberg restricted zone.
The landscape both above and below water is dominated by large to very large granite corestone boulders and outcrops. There are lots of overhangs, crevices and small caves, with occasional swim-throughs. There is an air bubble cave under the inner group of high rocks on the south west side, at S33°59.242' E018°21.817', about halfway along the south side of the group, at about 8m depth. The site is identified by a four-lobed rocky promontory and several groups of offshore rocks.
